The DGSE, or Directorate General for External Security, is France's foreign intelligence service. It's found inside the Ministry of Defense but reports to the president. It was established under that name in 1982, learning the hard way, through a string of high-profile blunders, how to conduct espionage. The service is responsible for all sources of intelligence and has benefited from a popular TV show about its inner workings. Drawing on documents never before available, Damien Van Puyvelde, the author of the book The DGSE: A Concise History of France's Foreign Intelligence Service, traces the agency's history from its early failures to its sweeping reforms and modern-day successes.

Leon Black's congressional testimony encapsulated the broader Epstein scandal because it combined immense wealth, legal maneuvering, institutional deference, and carefully controlled cooperation. Despite paying Epstein at least $158 million for tax and estate-planning services and continuing their relationship after Epstein's 2008 conviction, Black was initially allowed to appear voluntarily rather than under subpoena. When questioning moved toward women, nondisclosure agreements, and other sensitive matters, he refused to answer and left the interview, forcing the committee to issue a subpoena afterward. That sequence reflected the same pattern that has defined the Epstein case for decades: authorities begin by treating powerful people cautiously, those people exploit that caution, and meaningful pressure is applied only after delay and public embarrassment.The fiasco also demonstrated why every significant witness in the Epstein investigation should be compelled to testify, produce relevant documents, and face serious consequences for lying or obstructing the inquiry. Congress should not permit wealthy associates to decide which subjects are private, irrelevant, or off-limits, particularly when financial arrangements, confidential agreements, and post-conviction relationships may help explain how Epstein maintained his influence. Black's return under subpoena gives the committee another opportunity to demand direct answers and test his claims against records, payments, communications, and other testimony. Unless lawmakers use their full authority and treat deception as a potential crime rather than a public-relations problem, the investigation will remain another performance in which powerful men delay accountability while survivors are once again expected to wait.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Homily for Saturday  July 18th 2026 | What is more important: what we have done for God, or what Jesus has done for us? . In this powerful reflection, Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC reminds us that the Christian life is not centered on what we have done for God; but on what Jesus Christ has done for us.The devil wants us trapped in self-condemnation, constantly focused on our weaknesses and failures.But Christ invites us to lift our eyes to His Cross, His Divine Mercy, and His Eucharistic Presence. "Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed."Those words remind us that salvation is not earned; it is received through the mercy of Christ. Today, Jesus invites you to stop staring at your failures and start contemplating His infinite mercy.Fix your eyes on Him. Receive His healing. Let His love transform your heart."He is the One who makes us worthy."Readings for July 18th 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/071826.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

“Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.” ‭- Romans‬ ‭2‬:‭4‬-‭5‬ ‭ESV‬‬

What do you do when you're discouraged, nothing seems to be working, and you're starting to wonder if you got it wrong? Many young adults wrestle with questions like, "Maybe this isn't what God has for me," or, "Maybe I should just quit." In this episode, Lina and Micah explore what the Bible says about failure, disappointment, and God's direction. Together, they'll look at how God often uses setbacks to redirect us, why failure is never the end of the story, and how to discern whether it's time to move on or remain faithful through a difficult season. If you're wondering whether to quit or keep going, this conversation will encourage you to trust God's leading and keep following Jesus—even when the path isn't what you expected.   Helpful resources:

One of the biggest misconceptions about social media is that people only share their wins. While that certainly happens, the more important question is this: what are you doing with your own setbacks?In this episode, I share why failure has been one of the greatest teachers in my life and why every setback, misunderstanding, and missed opportunity has shaped the person I continue to become. The goal isn't to avoid failure. It's to learn from it, take ownership where it's appropriate, and keep moving forward.We also explore why people will always have different opinions of you, why those opinions don't have to define you, and how forgiveness, both for others and for yourself, plays an important role in personal growth.In this episode, we discuss:• Why failure is often the beginning of growth, not the end of the journey.• How taking ownership helps you move forward with greater clarity.• Why you get to decide which labels you accept and which you leave behind.• How social media can reinforce the stories you already believe about yourself.• Why forgiveness and self reflection are essential parts of long-term growth.Life will always include setbacks, unexpected turns, and moments that don't go according to plan. What matters most isn't avoiding those moments. It's deciding what you'll learn from them and who you'll choose to become because of them.To learn more about what we're building at Your Level Fitness, visit yourlevelfitness.com.

Cory Mittleider: Thanks for having us. Allen Hall: So we’ve got two bearing experts in one location, and this is the point where we start asking all of our bearing questions. Cory, you’re with Malloy Wind, and we’ve had you on the podcast two or three different times. Loren’s with NSK — we’ve had Loren on at least once before. Loren Walton: Once, yes. Allen Hall: Yeah, and that was good. Loren Walton: I appreciate that. It was fun. Allen Hall: There are a lot of bearing issues happening in the States at the moment, but also globally. Whatever happens in the States, you can pretty much find in Australia, Canada, Singapore, Mexico, South America, Brazil — everywhere. We’re hearing a lot about main bearings, and there’s a variety of things that I think you two know from being on the inside that we on the outside haven’t heard yet. I want to get some of those stories out and understand what’s going on, because operators are trying to keep their assets running, and bearings are a big issue. Let’s talk main bearings. What are you seeing in the field right now? What kinds of problems are happening? Cory Mittleider: It seems like operators are coming to us and asking us to supply bearings that no longer have DLC. That’s a bit of a phenomenon lately. For a little over a decade we spent our time supplying bearings with DLC on the rollers to address problems found fifteen years ago. Allen Hall: DLC is diamond-like coating. Cory Mittleider: Correct. Allen Hall: Which is a really hard specialty coating applied to the bearing surfaces to provide hardness and durability — or it’s supposed to provide durability. Cory Mittleider: That’s a good point. It’s a coating that’s one to two microns thick — one to two thousandths of a millimeter — and a very hard material. The big feature was that it’s a dissimilar material to the steel. So when we break through the mixed and boundary lubrication regimes and those asperities touch each other, that dissimilar material prevents the welding and tearing that leads to the peeling damage we saw fifteen years ago. That peeling damage eventually turned into spalling, cracking, and other failures. So it made a lot of sense at the time to turn to something like this to mitigate the peeling. Allen Hall: So the peeling damage was one of those issues where you basically had some sliding happening. In my electrical world, and from looking at these on the ground, you see things moving relative to one another instead of rolling relative to one another. Loren Walton: It’s more of a welding and shearing of the contacts. I used a finger analogy last time: think of your asperities as fingers — one set is the roller, one set is the outer raceway. They weld under high load and high pressure, then they shear, leaving behind debris. That’s what creates the beginning of the peeling damage, and then it continues to create more debris, and the bearing starts to basically eat itself alive. Allen Hall: The start of that process, though — is that a lack of lubrication, or a finish or hardness issue on the bearing? Loren Walton: I love that question, because this is the crux of the whole thing, and I think it’s the part that gets missed. People immediately want to throw the whole thing out and start over with something different. Fundamentally, when we fixed the surface issue by adding the coating, the problems pretty much went away. We went from one-to-five years of life to ten-plus years, depending on the application — without changing the construction, the bearing type, or the contact angle. Just by adding the coating, we increased life significantly. The root of what you’re asking is that the bearing would operate better if it had the proper amount of separation. It’s not a fatigue issue and it’s not a loading issue. At its heart, the bearing isn’t able to create that separation. There isn’t enough speed, and there isn’t enough of a gap created by the lubricant. Allen Hall: So ideally you have this almost molecular-scale film of lubricant between the two surfaces. If it isn’t designed properly, or you have an issue, that lubricant gets squeezed out of the space, and at that point you have trouble. That’s some of what I’m hearing on main bearings — especially when turbines have been curtailed and aren’t turning. Is that partly just the fact that there’s so much load? Cory Mittleider: I think that’s a fundamental difficulty of the main shaft bearing. You’ve got extremely variable loads, from full load to idle, and a wide range of operating conditions — from northern North Dakota in the winter to Texas in the heat this week. High load, heavy load, incredibly slow speed, and even slower if it’s idling. It’s hard to reliably build that film. It’s not necessarily that there isn’t enough lubrication; it’s that the film isn’t building properly where it needs to be to separate the metal and the rolling elements. Allen Hall: So the diamond-like coating was meant to solve that welding problem — you put the coated bearing in, and it worked okay until more recently, when all of a sudden we started having other issues. To me those aren’t related to the coating itself, but to other things happening up in the nacelle. Loren Walton: If we recall some of your previous episodes, you were on the forefront of understanding and talking about DLC starting to become an accelerant to failure. I know you talked about it with Cory. Those episodes have aged very well. A lot of people now are recognizing what we were saying years ago and changing their strategy toward removing DLC — whether on bearings for newer turbines, typically two megawatts and greater, or in some cases going backwards and removing DLC as they do additional replacements, and looking for another solution, because there’s potential for additional issues you weren’t expecting by adding the coating. Allen Hall: The coating is non-conductive, which is part of the issue, because you wouldn’t think bearings are conducting electricity. But as turbines got some of these uptower and downtower converters and inverters connected to the generator, we started seeing current levels — according to Motor Doc, where people like Howard Penrose have gone out and measured currents in the nacelles — of well over a hundred amps running through ground straps and the like, into bearings. That’s a lot of current. If you’re shoving that into a bearing that has DLC on it, you’re going to break it down and create these really hard steel bits stuck inside the bearing, which wear it like pouring sand inside a bearing. That’s what eventually happens, and it has nothing to do with the bearing. It has more to do with the electrical and control systems we stuck up top and didn’t pay much attention to, but probably should have. We created an electrical situation, and now all the upkeep comes to people like you to deal with. You haven’t seen a lot of work to eliminate it, although there are a couple of good attempts happening. The reality is: okay, we have to have a bearing, and I’ve got this current going around from the nacelle. How do I put those together in a way that removes the DLC? Cory Mittleider: That’s what we’ve spent the last ten-plus years on. As a bearing supplier, we can’t change the whole system. We have to do the best we can to accommodate what’s happening in your system. We would absolutely encourage you, if you can identify and remove the electricity, please do that. Allen Hall: They should. And there are a lot of people who do. Cory Mittleider: There’s a pursuit of that, absolutely. But the turbine still needs to run. Loren Walton: We work very closely with an owner-operator that did a lot of that work. To your point from before, it does sound like, from what they’ve investigated, the current has been there for a while. It’s been there in different models and different turbines. Maybe the way it presented, or its impact, wasn’t to the same extent as what we’re seeing now. That’s where I’d say there’s more to it than just the current. I think I said last time it’s not just a smoking gun. The bearing is sitting in front of a firing squad. You put it all together and now we’re in a tough position. But to Cory’s point, we get brought the application, we get brought the environment, and we get told, “Here, make it work.” Allen Hall: And you don’t actually see everything that’s happened. You get all the mechanical loads, but they don’t tell you, “Hey, we’re running a hundred amps through this nacelle.” Loren Walton: No, I don’t remember hearing that. Cory Mittleider: No, that’s not usually disclosed. Allen Hall: No one’s ever said that. So that’s a real troubling thing happening in the industry — we’re assigning blame to mechanical components when really it’s an electrical mistake. When you dig into it, what you find is that currents have been running up top for years, but what’s changed now is that with more focus on emissions from inverters, they’ve pushed things into higher frequencies. Higher frequency bands are harder to ground out and get rid of. When things were in the kilohertz range, we could partly ground them and they’d go away. Now we’re working at ten kilohertz and up, and that energy distributes into a lot of places, including the bearings, where it wasn’t before. That’s really hard to deal with. Some electrical designer sitting in a remote location, probably in Germany, designs the circuit, and now you bearing gurus have to go fix it. Cory Mittleider: And that system’s probably well optimized for that particular package. Allen Hall: For that particular package, right. It meets all the requirements and does everything they wanted — except for the effect on the bearings. Loren Walton: You solve one problem and move it to another. That’s ultimately how it works. Allen Hall: If you’re an electrical engineer, you’d never have thought you were destroying the bearings. The industry has moved quite quickly, though. Everybody started noticing this problem with DLC. They went out to check and figure out what the problem was, and, more importantly, to find a solution. Those solutions are unique, because the reason DLC went on in the first place was to extend lifetime. So if you’re taking the DLC out of the equation, can you still get to those lifetime numbers without it? Loren Walton: Yeah, and that’s where our message has been that adjusting the material will get you the difference you’re looking for. I want to be very clear: I’m not saying DLC as a solution is bad. When it was applied in the right space — turbines with a lighter duty — it worked great. But once you add in additional factors, it becomes an accelerant to failure at certain points. So it definitely still has its place. But once you move away from DLC, you’re going to be right back where you started — regardless of construction — with the life that was always aided by DLC. Once you’ve removed it, you have to know for sure you’re not going right back to the peeling layers and the spalling you were seeing. From what we’ve investigated, the material changes are where you get that. Having a harder surface combats it, and having a better way to combat any additional debris introduced into the system helps. Allen Hall: And reducing the possibility of generating that debris. Loren Walton: Correct. Allen Hall: So what does that mean in terms of bearing design — different alloys, different heat treats, different coatings? Loren Walton: The first two, not the third. From the recipe of the steel, adjusting some of the alloying elements, there’s a lot you can do. A lot of people think of engineering mostly through the mechanics of it, but one part of mechanical engineering that doesn’t get talked about is material science. That’s the part we dive into extremely deeply, and it gives you the biggest bang for your buck when you’re moving away from a coating as your — I don’t want to call it a crutch, but as the thing helping you get by — toward changing the bearing from the inside so it lasts better once the coating is gone. Cory Mittleider: I like describing it as being baked into the cake. It’s not a nice thing added afterward like a coating that’s one to two microns thick. It is the bearing. Allen Hall: It’s hard to think about steel and a lot of the metals used in the bearing industry as unique chemistries, but they are. There are a lot of varieties of steel, just like there are a lot of varieties of copper or aluminum. Loren Walton: Yes. Allen Hall: You’d think steel is just steel — we make cars out of it, airplanes, whatever. Loren Walton: I was talking to someone who’s more into gears, and even when I spoke of a carbon-nitride version of a bearing versus a carbon-nitride version of a gear, it’s not exactly the same. For all intents and purposes it’s easier for everyone to consider it as steel — one word, means the same thing. But once you get into how much chromium is in it, how much molybdenum, how much manganese — Allen Hall: It comes down to that, and it can be very small percentages of the total. Loren Walton: It can make a huge difference. And then you get into the heat treat — your time, your soaking, what you do for quenching. It all matters, and everyone does it differently, so you get different results. Allen Hall: That’s the kicker. You see a lot of discussions where it’s just, “Oh, it’s been heat treated.” As an electrical engineer I used to see it that way too. But there’s heat treatment and there’s heat treatment. It depends on what you’re doing and what the result needs to be, because you’re changing the whole crystalline structure of the steel. The way you do it and the way you quench it all matters. It’s not one size fits all. Loren Walton: That’s the part that gets glossed over so quickly, because everyone’s eyes go to what they can see. You change an angle here or there, or the bearing type, and you can see that. It’s different when you don’t have X-ray vision to tell you where all the alloying elements are and in what percentages, and then whether you carburized it, through-hardened it, or carbonitrided it. There’s so much to it that I can see people’s heads start to spin. That’s where we say there are a lot of experts out here — you two are among them, and there are others. Engage in conversations. Ask questions. Allen Hall: That’s a great call to action — “Cory, help me understand what’s going on.” There’s a variety of bearings out there. Loren’s with NSK, a great bearing company with tremendous history. Those are a couple you can trust. But operators can feel inundated by the guy down the street trying to sell them a bearing, and you don’t know if that’s the right solution for your two-million-dollar wind turbine. Cory Mittleider: These are critical infrastructure assets. Let’s make sure we understand what we’re doing and why. To Loren’s point, you can open three boxes and they all look the same, but what’s inside is what really matters. Allen Hall: It’s a tremendously difficult business. With as many main bearings getting swapped out today, over the last couple of years there have been a lot of decisions made on the fly — some correct, some really wrong. Loren Walton: I’d hesitate to say wrong, because I think people are doing the best they can. It’s not because they’re not trying. Allen Hall: It’s because they don’t have the knowledge in front of them, or maybe they haven’t made the call to Malloy or NSK yet to get the ground truth. Loren Walton: What you mentioned a second ago is pivotal. There’s been enough selling that we’ve kind of gotten away from the engineering. People hear “sales engineer” and they cut off at “sales.” If we can get back to the engineering, a lot more people will improve their assets. And it doesn’t have to be just listening to Cory and me — poll the audience. There are a lot of us out here. Everybody has a different background; we all know a little about this or a lot about that. Take the opportunity to learn. I’d liken it to your personal life: you wouldn’t buy a new vehicle or a stereo system without doing your own research. You wouldn’t just listen to the salesperson and buy the first thing you see. It’s the same here. If you’re making decisions without engaging at least the top three to five people in this space, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Allen Hall: And that’s what happens a lot, because people get pushed. There’s a timeline, especially now with the repower situation — “I’ve got to put something on now.” Cory Mittleider: Right. And new platforms — the next-generation three, four, five, six megawatt platforms, and offshore — are having their first failures. We need to learn from it. That’s where we’ve worked with operators to participate in the teardown and collect the sample. We get clues, we mark it up, and we do a lot of the investigation — metallurgy, metrology, raceway traces — to inform us on what the problem is on that specific platform. Allen Hall: As we get to these bigger turbines, some data is coming back on O&M costs relative to a one or two megawatt machine, and it doesn’t scale linearly. It goes almost exponentially, because everything is more expensive. Replacing a bearing on a six megawatt machine is a much more expensive ordeal than on a two megawatt machine. What should we be paying attention to and monitoring more closely on these larger machines? The new shiny turbine is great, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to monitor and maintain it. Loren Walton: I’d start with verifying all your original fits and clearances. We’ve had cases with a four-point mount main shaft — two main bearings — where one side wasn’t installed properly from the beginning, so it didn’t actually float. It’s supposed to be a fixed side and a floating side; now you’ve got one side that’s not floating, and you get overload. So make sure you’re set from the start. A lot of machines now come already outfitted with instrumentation — vibration monitoring, oil monitoring, different ways to start trending from the beginning. Back when we got started, that wasn’t the case. You got your new turbine and in a lot of cases it had nothing on it — you were flying blind. Now that it’s there, use it. Cory Mittleider: That’s a good point. Specifically to bearings, something earlier versions didn’t have, and newer ones mostly do, is auto-lubers. Allen Hall: I see more of those lately. Cory Mittleider: That’s great from a lubrication-delivery and reliability point of view, but it’s its own little machine. We’ve heard of cases where the auto-luber failed, or ran when it shouldn’t have, or for whatever reason had very large output. So you need regular assessment of the entire system, including uptower. Allen Hall: You’ve got to monitor everything that’s uptower. Cory Mittleider: It’s its own little machine. It requires its own maintenance. If you’re relying on it, you’ve got to check it. Allen Hall: As we move into these larger machines and see more of them deployed, what are the useful things you should be doing in that first year to make sure your bearing is working optimally? Is it just checking vibration levels? Is it getting uptower and doing a quick sweep to confirm the grease isn’t oozing out where it shouldn’t be? Is it that simple? Loren Walton: Having a regular maintenance interval definitely helps. Even getting grease sampling to understand your baseline levels after the first six months and the first year. In a lot of cases the turbines are under a couple-year warranty, so maybe you don’t have as much access. But as much as you can, getting a baseline is huge, because you’re going to want to compare later. You’ll want to say, “Okay, I took this grease sample — what does it mean? Does it normally run that high or not?” Same for vibration, getting the trending. For main bearings in general, more grease is better than less, because you can never quite get it all out when you’re regreasing. So a lot of that first year or two is about getting a good baseline so you know what you’re actually expecting, and what it means when you take a reading in year two or three. Allen Hall: What does a grease sample look like in terms of the response you get back? I take a sample, send it to a lab, and it comes back with — what? Is it “good or bad,” or a bunch of chemical numbers about composition and dirt? I’ve never seen one. Cory Mittleider: It’s a matrix. You can request different versions, but probably ten or fifteen different elements they give you numbers on, in parts per million. Iron and brass will be up there. Allen Hall: So if you see something floating in the grease — Cory Mittleider: Silicon, phosphorus, water. Allen Hall: Water would not be great. Cory Mittleider: No. Allen Hall: So those reports come back, and I assume there’s more knowledge needed to interpret the results. What do you do? Loren Walton: We have some guidelines we share with our partners and customers. If you see a certain amount of parts per million of copper, ferrous material, or the like, we can say, “That’s worth monitoring for a while,” or “You should probably purge it, try to get it out, and see if it stabilizes.” We get those questions and respond in kind. There’s definitely help available. If we work together, we typically have a lot more success. A lot of people right now feel like they’re trying to work in their own silos, and you don’t have to do that. You don’t have to be the subject-matter expert for lubricants, gears, bearings, and everything else. You can reach out to experts who can help, and hopefully that frees up your time to assess and work on other things. Allen Hall: The turbines are so complex today. It used to be you could have one person on site who knew most of what was going wrong, because they’d made thousands of these things — there was a legacy. When you get to six megawatt machines, where you don’t have a lot of history, particularly in the United States, there’s really no one to ask. You’d better find somebody who knows what they’re talking about. Cory Mittleider: And the operators are responsible for multiple systems — six or seven or eight systems they’re looking at. We can help with bearings; we’re niche and focused on that. If we can take that off your plate, now instead of six systems you’ve got five to worry about. Allen Hall: That’s key. There are experts out there, and one thing the podcast is trying to do is give those experts a chance to talk so you know who to ask. Your phones should be ringing right about now, because it’s repower time, and it’s main-bearing repair and replace time, pitch-bearing repair and replace time. There’s a lot of bearing activity going on. I always say call Malloy Wind if you need somebody who really knows their stuff, the technology, and what’s going on internally. How do people get ahold of you two if they have questions? What’s the easiest way? Loren Walton: I try to be at most of the industry events. We usually hold a booth. And my email, my phone number — I’m on LinkedIn, so reach out there. After our last discussion I had a few folks reach out, actually mostly from other countries. It was interesting; we heard about a few issues before they even hit the US. Some folks were having problems with the larger turbines, and we were able to get our teams in Brazil and Spain involved right away. Then once it started cropping up in the US, I could say, “Yeah, I already solved that.” We can put my email in the show notes. Allen Hall: We’ll put it in the show notes for sure. And Cory, how do people get ahold of you? Cory Mittleider: I’m pretty active at the events — ACP, and the Drivetrain Reliability Collaborative is another one we had a couple of months ago. Email, phone, and I’m pretty active on LinkedIn. I’ve had similar experiences to Loren, getting contacted from other countries across the globe. It’s fun to investigate problems and share results in the technical articles on our website, and have people send me a picture of an article I wrote and say, “Hey, let’s talk about this.” Allen Hall: Your articles are great. Check out malloywind.com — just Google it and it’ll come right to the top. If you have bearing questions or something you’ve seen, that website is a great first place to get some answers. It’s very helpful. Well, Loren and Cory, I love having you on the podcast. We need to have you on more, because there’s a lot going on in the bearing world. Loren Walton: There are things we didn’t even touch on today. Allen Hall: You’re always welcome back. Loren Walton: Awesome. Appreciate it. Allen Hall: Thank you.

What keeps a multi-generational business from collapsing by the third generation? In this episode, Jeff and Spence discuss:  Building family relationships from a young age. The origin story of Holiday Inn and how it was built out of necessity.  Growing a business with customer service and going above and beyond, even when nobody else does.  Leading and guiding with questions, not commands.     Key Takeaways:  In a family business (and life), build the relationship capital before stressing about the business capital, especially with younger generations as they're being raised.   Failures help make success sweeter and give you more appreciation for those things that work well. It also gives you lessons that, if you learn from them, can help you progress forward with more wisdom.  Not all businesses require family ownership to succeed. Understanding whether your family business does or does not is key.  Entitlement will ruin more family businesses than anything else. Be humble, stay grounded, and continue to steward the legacy - it is your responsibility for whatever comes next.     "There's nothing better than working with your family. But there's probably nothing worse than working with your family if you don't do it right. You've got to have a foundation of trust, mutual respect, and love. With those, you can go a long way, personally and professionally." —  Spence Wilson Jr.   About Spence Wilson Jr.: Spence Wilson, Jr. joined Kemmons Wilson Companies (KWC) in 1995.

Apple and OpenAI are no longer just competing in the AI lab. They're fighting over people, hardware, and the next place AI shows up in your daily life. We break down the allegations behind Apple's lawsuit, why the relationship shift matters, and what it signals for consumer AI devices like “AI-powered” accessories that promise smarter writing and faster work, but also raise new questions about ownership and trust.Then we get practical and weird in the best way: what's actually wrecking your Wi-Fi. Microwaves, mirrors, brick walls, winter weather, and yes, fish tanks can all drag down your signal. We talk through simple fixes you can do today, including router placement, height, and when a mesh network is worth it. If your video calls drop every time you heat up leftovers, you'll want this part.We also look at the future of automation with robots for rent, where “Robot as a Service” turns machines into subscriptions, and we spotlight the Music Cam Pro Kickstarter, a live camera headset built for recording, team communication, and streaming on the move. On the privacy front, we dig into Meta's AI pulling from public Instagram photos and how to opt out, then connect it to a real-world surveillance tech failure involving license plate recognition errors and a tense police stop. Finally, we cover New York's new courtroom ban on smart glasses and close with our whiskey advent calendar taste test as an American rye faces off against an Irish blend.Subscribe, share the show with a friend who loves tech and bourbon, and leave a review so more listeners can find us.

In this episode, Bryan sits down with compressor teardown specialist Ty Branaman for a deep dive into what really kills refrigeration and AC compressors. After some lighthearted banter, the conversation quickly turns technical: Ty has spent years cutting apart failed compressors on video, and he explains why that practice matters so much. As he puts it, he is "all about making the invisible visible" — once a technician actually sees what happened inside a dead compressor, vague explanations like "it just got old" stop holding up. Bryan and Ty establish that a properly maintained compressor should essentially last forever, since it is a sealed system with no external contaminants — unlike an engine. The catch is that installation and service mistakes introduce the very contaminants that shorten its life. Copper plating tops Ty's list of the most common findings: moisture combines with POE oil to form acid, which etches copper that then plates onto moving parts, thickening them and eventually causing hard starts that get mistaken for a "tired" compressor. They also trace how a shorted or seized compressor is usually the end result of an earlier root cause, not the cause itself. The two work through the major categories of contamination one by one: solid debris from unswept lines and copper shavings left behind during deburring; moisture, which requires a proper pressure test, deep vacuum, and decay test to remove, plus heat to actually drive water molecules out; and non-condensable gases like oxygen and nitrogen, which throw off pressure readings and, with flammable A2L refrigerants, introduce real fire risk. Ty shares a memorable story about a compressor shell that ripped open after being left pressurized with nitrogen, and both discuss the surprisingly common problem of "wet" nitrogen and poorly maintained recovery tanks. The conversation closes on flooded starts — a hazard Ty considers hugely overlooked — where migrated liquid refrigerant mixes with crankcase oil and violently flashes to vapor on startup, often shattering scroll plates. They cover practical prevention methods, including crankcase heaters, pump-down solenoids placed ahead of the metering device, and reduced refrigerant charges, before wrapping up with Ty's quick field technique for cutting the top off a failed compressor to get an on-the-spot diagnosis rather than waiting on a full teardown back at the shop. Topics Covered Why compressors fail from external contamination rather than simply "wearing out" Copper plating as the most frequently found problem inside failed compressors Solid contaminants: dirt, copper shavings, and proper deburring technique Moisture control: pressure testing, deep vacuum, decay testing, and heat-assisted evacuation Wet nitrogen and poorly maintained recovery tanks Oxygen and nitrogen contamination, including flammability risks with A2L refrigerants Flooded starts, crankcase heaters, and pump-down solenoids Superheat measured at the compressor versus at the evaporator outlet Ty's quick-cut technique for on-the-spot compressor diagnosis in the field   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

We're officially halfway through the year. Picture this year as a book, half of the pages are filled, half are blank. Ask yourself this question… "If I ended this year having done __________…" Or… "If I ended this year feeling __________…" …I would look back and say this was a wildly successful year. That's your destination. Now your job is simple. Design the next six months to get there. It's not easy, but it's simple. Today isn't about beating yourself up over the first half of the year. It's about making sure you are very intentional about the second half. Welcome to your official Mid-Year Audit.  Let's go! ⸻ PART 1: THE HALFTIME SPEECH Think about every great coach. Nobody waits until the season is over to make adjustments. They stop at halftime. They look at what's working. They look at what's not. Then they make changes. Life deserves the same approach. ⸻ PART 2: WHAT'S WORKING? Ask yourself: • What habits have actually improved my life? • What routines are creating momentum? • What relationships are making me better? • What should I absolutely keep doing for the rest of the year? Don't change things that are already working. Double down on them. ⸻ PART 3: WHAT ISN'T WORKING? What's costing you time? Energy? Peace? Health? Money? Ask yourself… "If I keep living exactly like I have for the past six months… …where will I end up?" If you don't like the answer… Today's the day to pivot. ⸻ PART 4: WHAT DOES JULY-YOU KNOW THAT JANUARY-YOU DIDN'T? I LOVE this prompt. January-you had hopes. July-you has evidence. Ask yourself: • What surprised me? • What lessons did I learn? • What assumptions were wrong? • What do I know now that I wish I'd known six months ago? Wisdom only matters if you use it. ⸻ PART 5: YOUR BIGGEST WINS We rarely celebrate ourselves enough. Write down: • Biggest accomplishment • Biggest proud moment • Biggest risk you took • Biggest relationship win • Biggest health win Momentum comes from remembering you've already done hard things. ⸻ PART 6: YOUR BIGGEST FAILURES Not to beat yourself up. To learn. Ask: What failed? Why? What did it teach me? What will I never do again? Failures are only expensive if you don't learn from them. ⸻ PART 7: FINISH THE SENTENCE Now come back to the question. "If I ended this year having done…" "If I ended this year feeling…" What is the ONE thing that would make December 31st feel incredible? Maybe it's… • Feeling healthy again • Becoming financially free • Building a stronger marriage • Becoming more present with your kids • Finally launching your business • Feeling peaceful No more than 3!! ⸻ PART 8: REVERSE ENGINEER IT If that's December… What has to happen by… November? October? September? August? Next Monday? Tomorrow? Today? Success isn't built in December. It's built on Tuesday mornings. ⸻ PART 9: CHECK YOUR CALENDAR Jesse Itzler says your calendar tells the truth. Not your goals. Not your vision board. Your calendar. Ask: Does my calendar reflect the person I'm trying to become? Or the person I've accidentally become? Because what gets scheduled… Gets lived. ⸻ PART 10: DON'T WAIT UNTIL JANUARY One of the biggest mistakes people make is believing they need a fresh year. You don't. You need a fresh decision. You still have 182 days. That's enough time to change your body. Strengthen your marriage. Grow your business. Repair relationships. Learn a new skill. Completely change the trajectory of your life. ⸻ CLOSING CHALLENGE Today, I want you to grab a notebook. Write these seven questions: • What's working? • What's not working? • What does July-me know that January-me didn't? • What am I most proud of? • What did I learn from my biggest failure? • If I ended this year having ________, it would be a wildly successful year. • What needs to happen this week to make that inevitable? Then remember this… The first half of the year gave you feedback.  The second half is where you decide what to do with it. CHEERS to your most awesome second half!!

You think you know what confidence is. You don't. Not yet. I brought Dr. Nate Zinsser onto this show because what he teaches is unlike anything you have heard in any self-help book or motivational speech. He is the director of West Point's Performance Psychology Program. He has spent 30 years teaching the most elite military leaders, Olympic athletes, and pro sports teams in the world how to build real, unshakable confidence from the inside out. He is the psychologist behind Eli Manning's two Super Bowl victories over my Patriots, and I'll never forgive him for it. But here is what got me. This is not about pumping yourself up. This is about rewiring your brain at the neurological level so that confidence becomes your default. And every single one of you can do it starting today. Here is what you will gain from this episode: The Psychological Bank Account: Learn the exact exercise Dr. Zinsser gives every West Point cadet to build a foundation of confidence from the memories and experiences you already have The Five Minute Daily Practice: Discover the single most powerful mental training habit you can build, three questions at the end of every day that literally rewire your brain for confidence Temporary vs. Permanent: Understand how the most confident people in the world process setbacks differently and how to adopt their framework starting today You Are Not a Failure: Learn the most important distinction in this entire episode. You may have failed at something. That does not make you a failure. Dr. Zinsser explains how to stop letting that one lie destroy your confidence Preparation and Performance: Find out why the psychology of preparation and the psychology of performance are completely different and why confusing them is costing you  You have everything you need to start building your confidence today.

What if every failure, dead end, and "wasted" season of your life was actually God building something you couldn't see yet? In this episode, Lance Wallnau unpacks convergence — the moment God's blueprint for your life, forged through years of mistakes and hard lessons, finally locks into your ultimate divine assignment. Is your greatest season still ahead of you? Lance breaks down the four key elements of convergence and why the decade from 2026 to 2036 may be the most critical window of your life — where your calling sharpens into a singular, irreversible contribution that outlasts you. In this episode: * What "convergence" really means — and why your past failures aren't detours, they're data * The Hebrew concept of yeter — the "excellent spirit" that causes you to jut out above your competition * Why praying in the Holy Spirit keeps you on the road to your calling even when you feel completely lost * David's slingshot strategy: how natural talent + supernatural anointing becomes your unique methodology * The Medici Effect — how God uses cross-domain insight to give you first-mover advantage in your field * How to identify the MAJOR role God has for you — not the minor ones * Why specificity of calling is power, and how to get radically clear on your ultimate contribution Your past failures weren't the end of your story.
